WIN a Denby Studio Blue Set worth £165

Hello again and welcome to another amazing giveaway! As you may remember I started these giveaways a little earlier in the year when the blog turned 6 and they’ve been such fun I’ve carried on doing them.

Only the other day a giveaway winner messaged me to say how lovely the prize was (from this giveaway) and that makes it all the better.

(So you know, there’s no requirement for this I just love hearing how much people love the prizes!)

And now onto this week’s prize which has been donated by the lovely people at Denby. Who doesn’t love some Denby tableware right? The Denby team are offering a collection of Studio Blue pieces totalling £165.

Studio Blue is an informal collection of plates, bowls and platters ideal for casual dining. 

Here’s what’s included:

  • 4x Denby Studio Blue Dinner Plates
  • 4x Denby Studio Blue Medium Plates
  • 4x Denby Studio Blue Pasta Bowls
  • 1x Denby Studio Blue Large Ridged Bowl

The collection is inspired by the tones and raw textures of stone and minerals, and designed to bring calm and mindfulness to the home. After a recent mindfulness course I’m all for ways of reducing the ‘noise’ of life and bringing a little zen into my home.

Studio Blue is a new hand-crafted collection of ceramics from Denby. The Made in England stoneware has been carefully created by skilled artisans, using techniques perfected over 200 years to ensure each unique piece lasts for years to come.

The beautiful and calming blue tones of Denby’s Studio Blue help to create a more serene space at home through a greater connection to a natural aesthetic.

  1. Ahhhhh I’ve had my eye on this set since it first came out but according to my partner it’s more important to have paint on the walls first rather than a brand new dinner set! haha. I love cooking and entertaining and I think these plates would be perfect for seafood /tapas- Depp fried calamari, chorizo and prawns, patatas bravas, breads and lots of dips (aioli yum!)

  2. I loved this when Amanda at Anamumdiary showed hers off on Instagram – I can’t find it in any shops!

  3. This would be perfect for my home-made lasagne and a big dish of Greek salad with lots of feta and Greek olives.
    Absolutely love this collection!

  4. I’ve been super busy lately and not had time to cook lavish meals for friends. But we all prefer casual dining anyway. We’ve been tucking into fresh bread with cheeses, fruit, vine tomatoes, pates, and Italian cold cuts, washed down with Italian red wine. We’ve all found that we like it even more than a hot meal.

  5. We have Boston Blue- a wedding gift from 25 years ago. This range is now discontinued, so we can’t replace breakages but Studio Blue would blend in perfectly with our existing set. I love the mix and match feel of the design.

  6. Pasta! I love an informal tea and with pasta you can get really quite inventive, be it with leftovers and fridge-bottom ingredients or something purpose bought. Yum!

  7. Its wonderful i love the speckled design and colours, Very posh indeed! Id love to own such a wonderful set for my family but only for special occasions… i would serve up lobster ravioli & Starters of gazpacho soup. Homemade of course! Italian inspired hehe… Wonderful prize! i have everything crossed to win.x x

  8. Oh my gosh IT’S GORGEOUS! I’d use it in all my food photography and as every day dinnerware of course. A Thai feast would look beautiful displayed on that tableware!

  9. Penne pasta cooked and served with a basil and tomato sauce. Grated mozzarella and chopped salami stirred in before baking in a hot oven and served with fresh crusty bread

  10. I adore this and am in need of some new plates as someone (not mentioning any names ahem) keeps breaking mine. These are beautiful. I do need them in my life.

  11. I have always loved Denby’s classic, timeless designs and this set is no exception. The colour makes me think of Scandinavian food, so I would serve gravad lax, smoked mackerel, crispbread and ryebread. My mouth is really watering now.

  12. Casual and informal for me would be some roasted veg cous cous, salad, olives, houmous and some crusty bread 🙂

  13. For summer…. i would serve in this a lovely fresh salmon pasta dish, nice and light and fresh with lots of salad, with a nice bottle of rose wine.

  14. Spaghetti Bolognese would be great to serve in these bowls. Love Denby, and have several pieces of Denby tableware.

  15. Veggie burritos, guacamole, salsas, tortilla chips and a sweetcorn & black bean salad always goes down well.

  16. This would be perfect for a BBQ! We have a few friends around and sit outside enjoying the sunshine and good food and this set is great for the informal setting.

  17. Anything would look great in this set, but Spaghetti Bolognese with a crisp side salad would be my first outing for it.

  18. What a beautiful set – I love the natural colours and Debby is such quality. Now what to cook in it first?!….

  19. I got given some Denby Studio Blue as a leaving present from my awesome colleagues – a gift for my new home. I would love to add to the collection!
    It’s such a pretty style

  20. Oooh looks perfect for pasta to me- maybe something simple like a pesto and bacon fusilli?
    Though I’m likely to spill whatever I put in those bowls coz I’ll be too busy staring at the gorgeous colours and patterns in the glaze!

  21. I think it would have to be spaghetti bolognese, I have finally perfected my recipe and its lovely!!

  22. This would be perfect for my Moroccan tagine with home made North African bread. Incidentally, the blue reminds me of Chefachouen, a quaint little town in northern Morocco painted in shades of blue with splashes of white.

  23. loved denby imperial blue but I think this might beat it :-). Totally want to show off a tapas dinner on this lot 🙂

  24. Oh my goodness what a feast of delights could be served with this astounding display i think my first dish would probably be Tiger prawns served with an asparagus and smoked chive salad

  25. Love the colour! My favourite food is lamb, slow cooked with loads of fresh veggies and new potatoes (Jersey Royals)

  26. It would be lovely to use this beautiful set to share lasagne and salad with family and friends.

  28. Be right back, I’m just going to smash all my plates and bowls so I can get these ones!! They’re beautiful

  29. Reminds me of a Denby set we had from my mother. It was of course used so much that eventually pieces became damaged and it had to be replaced. The replacement isn’t nearly as nice…

  30. I love making Nigella’s seafood roast. All the spiky thorny shellfish piled in the middle of the table for everyone to enjoy!

  31. I would be cooking a large dish of paella to serve on the plates and the 4 bowls will be filled with different tapas such as chorizo in red wine, chilli squid, fried aubergine and of course a little cheese selection.

  32. I love tapas and dips. I have three generations of blue Denby. None of it matches but I love it!

  33. Definitely Mexican. I’d serve nachos on the big platter and fajitas on the dining set. The bowls are ideal for salsa and corn. Yum!

  36. My sister and I love to make cheesy pasta bake for a lazy Sunday meal and I think it would be perfect for these dishes. 🙂

  55. Pasta dishes are the best kind of casual, informal dishes to serve up I find. They’re easy to make and would be perfect to serve in the pasta bowls.
